Dell removing AMD-based computer systems from online store?
What a short, strange trip it has been. Dell has reportedly stopped selling AMD-based computer systems from its online store, just 21 months after they announced their intention to sell AMD-based systems to the general public.However, contrary to first reports and the sandwich board wearing doomsayers, this move doesn't mean the curtain is falling on the Dell/AMD releationship. In fact, Dell reiterated today their commitment to AMD on their Direct2Dell blog.
So what is Dell doing? For the time being, they have largely relegated their AMD-based systems to brick-and-mortar-big-box stores, such as Best Buy, Staples, Wal-Mart or Sam's Club. Thankfully, if your laziness precludes you from getting out of that easy chair, you can still order over the phone as well.

AMD Systems still seem to be readily available on the Dell Premier site as well. Though, with Intel vastly outpreforming AMD as of recent I see no reason to get AMD.

you play significantly less for AMD than you do for Intel. AMD is not being out performed so much that its worth the price difference. then again if you are seriously considering buying a Dell you probably aren't too concerned about paying more than you have too.
